commanded considerable portion of
the time of the House.
The. purpose of the House of Rep
resentatives in voting for an investi-
cation of this Pacific Railroad busi-
ness is not to prosecute Mr.. Stanford,
the President of these roads, who oc-
cupies seat in the y. S. Senate, pass
es upon legislation for the county, and
protects his own interests according
ly. The Government has a large in
terest in this railroad property and it
is duty of Congress to let the people
know what went with those two mill
ions that were spent some way. The
fact that the California Senator says
it went in the right way, that he does
not care to explain how, and that it is
not the business of the public to know
is not satisfactory. The people are
not yet ready to accept bribery as an
established institution. They have
right to ask by what process the
profits of the road are diverted into
the pockets of private individuals.
Governments business with the corpo-
rations, and to the right of Mr.. Stan
ford, one of the principal disbursers,

It is comforting to know that Hon

Cheap Journalism.
From the Church Messenger


Cheap journalism will not do,
whether it consist in quality or price.
There is just standard of value for
all marketable gifts as we'll as COM
modities, and this will sooner or later
regulate itself. Some of our contem-
poraries have made efforts to furnish
themselves to subscribers at figures
far below the standard. People GER
tainly do not think more of a paper
which puts low estimate upon itself.
We doubt whether they pay for one
such with any greater regularity or
promptness. People are eager to claim,
they should, as in all things else, SO in jour-
nalism, be willing to pay for value received
Cheap journalism, in whatever sense, we
believe to be mistake.

SUGAR REVIVAL.

The recent experiments at Fl.
Scott, Kansas, have demonstrated
two facts. First, that sugar in
large quantity can be extracted
from sorgham, and second, that it
can be done at profit. Only a
few hard 10 convince people ever
doubted the first fact, but only a
very few believed the second. It
has long been known that the
sugar was therein the sorgham,
but toe thing was to get it out, in
a way that would pay to do it. 1t
has now been done, and the sugar
industry will take new lease of
life. Sorgham can be raised all
over this country, and the amount
of sugar that can be produced in
the United States, is unlimited. II
something could be gotten up by
which cotton could be produced at
profit, the United States would
control the world.

TURNED LOOSE.

The aforetime editor Of the Shreve-
port Times, one Puckette, an
nOunced some time ago that he did
not propose to advertise obscure
journals, by giving prominence to
them in replying TO them. These
are not exactly the words, but this
is what the words meant.
Mr.. Puckette, by some hocus
pocus, has stepped down from TIE
editorial control of the Times and
now edits the Shreveport Demo
crat. He has apparently changed
his mind about personalities, for
in a recent issue of the Democrat
he denounces the editor of one of
the "obscure journals" as san ass"
He proclaims the name of the
"obscure journal" whose editor he
thus elegantly characterizes and
announces that he is tired of this
sort of thing. The article taken
from the Shreveport Journal,
which will be found in another
column, gives his words as to his
state of mind,
1t is clear that Mr.. Puckette is
mad, not angry, but mad, regular
old fashioned mad. He evidently
intends to make it red-hot for the
sinners, who hint at anything
wrong regarding the Saints. He
has taken a contract and is going
to I'LL 1t, or thinks he is. He viii
make an effort to do SO, anyhow.
and the sinners had better stand
from under, and escape the wrath
of the man who can't afford to adj
vertise obscure journals. Country
editors in future, Can expect to see
ir. fuckette rear up and paw the
AR, and there is no doubt that the
entertainment will be very inter.
esting.
The TIMES prophecied some |
time ago that the Saints would al |
low their angry passions to rise |
after awhile, and now the great
shreveport Reformer demonstrates |
hat a proph ct is not without honor
ave in his own country.

A Large Contract.

Because the editor of the RichlanG
Beacon had the temerity to speak OF
exposing the corruption of Holings.
worth and Others" the Democrat @,
this morning calls the Beacon man an
ass, and mildly suggests that he had
best "inform himself before slanderino
good men away from home" We infer
from the following sentence that the
Democrat has contracted for q large
job, and is going about it's accomplish
ment with avim; that he is fairly on
the war path. and that hereafter Nc
Emery editors who are so imprudent as
to speak of the Nichols leaders, save
in the most fattering terms, had best
hide out:
We have endured these fines at the
expense of Gen. Nichols friends in
Shreveport until We can bear them no
longer. The character of the Nichols
leaders in Cadido is above reproach,
and political penny-a-liners at dis
lance should be made acquainted with
the fact.-ShreYeport Journal.

Bob Ogden. Everybody in New
Orleans knows Coz. Bob, ana

fellow. There was Il little BtoTy
related some years ago, of which
Col. Bob was the nero. Il jovial
gentleman, taking a Trip, to Mobile,
would, on the arrival Of the train
at every station between New Or
lesns and that place, select some
stranger standing at the depot fol-
his fun, and would ask him; Have
you seen Bob Ogden about here
latoly2 The stranger would reply
that ne did not know Bob Ogden.
Then ldthe questiOrer assume
an air ofintense surprise, and say:
What! don't know Bob Ogden ?
well that's strange, Cor something
to that effect and then request the
stranger to tell Bob if he saw him,
that he(;he questioneI)was looking
for him; about this time the train
would move on, and the joker ard
his friends would enjoy a good
laugh. This was repeated at ev-
cry stopping place, and when the
story was told in New Orleans, it
became very popular, and, Have
you seen Bob Ogden A.? became sort
Of by-Word.
In Col. Bob's speech at Alexan-
eria some days ago, Col. Bob got
of this:
Attempts have been made to cast a
slur upon the friendship Of Gen. Mich.
oils for Gen. Ogden. You might Just
as we'll attempt to dislocate the names
Of Castor and PoliuX. This attempt
was made during the lifetime of Fred
Ogden, not with the view of bencfiting
the sick and dying Ogden, but for the
purpose of casting shadows and doubts
on the loyalty Of Gov. Nichols, and
with the object Of weaving If possible, |
from Gov. Nichols the friendship ana
love Of that glOnous Ch;eftIan whose
faithful band of followers still ciun
